    Hot peppers send me to the pooper.  No saving throw.  I listen to "Ring of Fire" during the process...

    LOTS OF TEXT WARNING

    The Eye Saga

    I've had a dead right eye since I fell off a mountain in California (a story for later).  And off and on, my left eye would get floaters that would show up and vanish a few days later.  It was no big deal, until...

    A few weeks ago I had the floaters.  I waited but they didn't go away, in fact they got worse.  I panicked and asked Anne to call 911 since I was close to blind, and we had a pile of ambulances show up!   They asked me all kinds of stupid questions, and it turned out that they thought I might have had a stroke (!!!).   So wheeeeeeeeeee ambulance ride to the E.R. and more questions, poking, prodding, checking my speech and co-ordination and memory, passed everything but the vision test.  So into a hospital room and they called an on-call opthamlogist, and while I waited it was a brain MRI followed not long after by a CAT scan (I am proud to have no cats inside my head).  So, one neurologist comes to the room and says my vision issue isn't brain-related, then proceeds to tell me I've had a stroke!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!? So, more tests, very annoying.. neurologist can't find any symptoms, second neurologist called in.  This one shows me a pic and points to a small white area and says "This bit of your brain is dead."  CREEPY!!!  Apparently it's called a 'silent stroke' since there are no symptoms.  And let me tell you, they tried their best to find issues!  Ever seen that little wheel thingy with spikes? That damn thing hurts!  So, after a couple of days of testing they decide that whatever part of the brain it hit wasn't in use (heh).  The eye doc came in and looked at the MRI and CAT scan and told me my floaters were blood and my eye was bleeding into itself (SICK EWWW MORE CREEPY!!!).The diagnosis: diabetes creates sugar crystals in your blood, which are apparently like tiny glass shards and can shred capillaries.  This happened in my retina, killing some blood flow.  The eye grew new blood vessels, but some grew out into the eyeball juice with no support, broke off, and bled into the juice - gross!

    Once out of the hospital the doc gave me an injection into my eye (HORROR MOVIE) to stop the bleeding, which it did - for a week.  If the injection had lasted longer the floaters would sink to the bottom of the eye and a laser could be used to cauterize the rogue veins, but I was not so lucky.  Back into surgery, eyeball operated on, and oil pumped in to help the retina heal. So, my unaided vision is fuzzy - but no floaters - and I can see colors that I lost years ago.Healing will take months but the doc says at the end of it I'll see fine.  Of course, this is going to make finding work tricky so I'm likely to file for my long-term disability insurance and just pick up small remote jobs I can code at home.  Freelancer.com is a brokering site and I know several companies that hire for specific bits of software like drivers and such, so I should be able to make rent and cold pizza money until this damn thing heals up.At least I can see well enough to take short walks outside when the weather doesn't suck!

    The neurologist wants a follow-up visit, so I suppose I should make arrangements...

     

     

    ...yikes! Hope he gave you an anaesthetic vefore that injection. Also been diagnosed with diabetes but the more easiky treatable veesion, just pills and managing the diet. Actually lost some weight after changing my diet and watching portions more closely. Also much more into organic meats, poultry, and fisg that isn't factory farm raised and injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. It isn't cheap (especially on my income) but I have been feeling way better and have few if any gut issues any more.

    I'm type 2 and on pills, it just went undiagnosed for a loooooong time.  I've made major lifestyle changes, but for some things it's just too late.. now it's all damage control. :-|

    Is a great deal for one person to cope with *hugs*

    Well, good afternoon.  After getting a new SSD and new BIOS battery, Windows freaked out and the guy at the shop had to do a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro.  It was because of the new SSD, maybe because it was now the C: drive.  So, I've been reinstalling all my software for the past week and a half.  crying​  Some things aren't working the same way they used to.  I don't know why.  And some things have changed.  One of my games, 123 Free Solitaire, is missing two games and has some new ones.  Those two were my favorite ones!  crying angry​  I guess the installer was just a thing that goes out to their server and gets the newest version.  But worse, some of my development tool add-ons aren't working or installing correctly.  That really hurts.

    Those are my complaints.  Oh, and I got up way too late today...haven't even eaten yet.  I guess I'll do that now.

    Dana

    Last win update seems to have caused a lot of trouble here as well  :(

    ...fortunately mine was caught early. I did have the doc take me off the statin though as the nausea side effect never went away, some days it was so bad I'd just go back to bed after taking it. Since I stopped taking it, I feel much better.

    Broncos dont have a wings named after them

     

    ...there's a place here that is a Green Bay Packer hangout here in Portland that serves "Packer Fries" which are covered in cheese and jalepenos ("green & gold").

    I was good until the jalapenos.  For me, those would be "Pooper Fries"...!

     

     

    ...yeah, jalapenos don't sit well with me either. Funny as I can still handle most hot sauces save for ghost pepper and habanero. For me it is the oilyiness and hot together (why I also cannot have pepperoni on pizza). Never much liked Tabasco or traditional buffalo wings either because they are too vinegary for ny taste.

    I love most peppers but as some as I get to a habanero the heat gives me hiccups for some reason. All hotter peppers do it. I have no idea why that happens and it makes my family LTAO. I get made fun of all the time. My oldest on the other hand have never seen him turn down a good challenge on peppers.

    You must start slowly with habaneroes.  The same thing happened to my boss years ago.  I had told him about Mrs. Renfro's Habanero Salsa.  He bought some, and dipped the spoon in and put it in his mouth!  I laughed, with a sympathetic wince, as soon as he said that.  He said he went immediately into hiccups, and his brow and upper lip immediately developed beads of sweat.  Slow, easy at first.  Then you can increase amounts.  Have some water on hand and sip a little bit after the first one or two bites of chips with the salsa or of the pepper.  The stuff is good for inflamation, too, you know?

    Dana

    Glad to know someone else in the world does it as well.

My dad is an insulin diabetic. He takes it 3 times a day. My mother is type 2 undedicated. Controlled with diet.

    Dana

    Last win update seems to have caused a lot of trouble here as well  :(

    This was all caused by BIOS battery that died, and C: drive ran out of space. I actually couldn't get the last Windows update because of that...no room to download and install the update!  I always instal software to a drive other than the C: drive, but a lot of things seem to insist on putting some things on the Windows drive, system type thingies I guess.  So I ran out of room.  Shouldn't happen again, I now have a 500GB SSD for the C: drive.  That is what caused Windows to have a fit.  Big difference in hardware.  Oh, well.  Still reinstalling stuff.  Going through the DS stuff, now. In the DIM.  I'm abstaining from installing things for figures older than the 4s (V4, M4, H4, A4, etc)  A whole lot of stuff, some of which I paid for, but never used.  sad

    complaint - the starbucks was so backed up by mobile orders, i had to leave without my cappuccino this morning or be extra late for work.

    anyway, went back at lunch time and explained to the supervisor, they made me a fresh one. smiley

    i've lost track of my retirement countdown. somethin like 5 years.  my left hand doesn't have the squeeze strength it used to have, trouble squeezing the standup toothpaste. trouble squeezing the nail trimmers in my left.  right hand is fine.

    buffalo don't have wings, why do they call it buffalo wings?

    perfect chill out weather for the crockpot this weekend. potato stew i think, mm mmm.  i call it klah stew. klah was the drink in the Pern novels, telepathic dragons bonded to their riders. fire lizards.

     

    It could have been worse. Many years before buffalo wings were popular, I was in
    a buffet where one of the entrees was Buffalo meatballs.
    If the manager had accepted my suggestion, we'd be eating Buffalo Balls today.

    Mmmmmm, Buffalo balls... :-}
     

    Yes, they were very tasty!

    Just why do I still have that serial port mouse? Or the ribbon IDE cables?

    I just cleared out my under-staircase closet and way in the back under the lowest steps I found my big box of coax cable weighing more than I wanted to pull on tonight so it's going to stay there.  Never know when 500 feet of various length rolls of TV cable coax might come in handy after being stored for 10 years. frown

    Well, good afternoon.  After getting a new SSD and new BIOS battery, Windows freaked out and the guy at the shop had to do a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro.  It was because of the new SSD, maybe because it was now the C: drive.  So, I've been reinstalling all my software for the past week and a half.  crying​  Some things aren't working the same way they used to.  I don't know why.  And some things have changed.  One of my games, 123 Free Solitaire, is missing two games and has some new ones.  Those two were my favorite ones!  crying angry​  I guess the installer was just a thing that goes out to their server and gets the newest version.  But worse, some of my development tool add-ons aren't working or installing correctly.  That really hurts.

    Those are my complaints.  Oh, and I got up way too late today...haven't even eaten yet.  I guess I'll do that now.

    Dana

    Last win update seems to have caused a lot of trouble here as well  :(

    This was all caused by BIOS battery that died, and C: drive ran out of space. I actually couldn't get the last Windows update because of that...no room to download and install the update!  I always instal software to a drive other than the C: drive, but a lot of things seem to insist on putting some things on the Windows drive, system type thingies I guess.  So I ran out of room.  Shouldn't happen again, I now have a 500GB SSD for the C: drive.  That is what caused Windows to have a fit.  Big difference in hardware.  Oh, well.  Still reinstalling stuff.  Going through the DS stuff, now. In the DIM.  I'm abstaining from installing things for figures older than the 4s (V4, M4, H4, A4, etc)  A whole lot of stuff, some of which I paid for, but never used.  sad 

    Dana

    ...this is why I went with a 2 drive setup with just utilities the OS and programmes on C: and my Daz libraries, runtimes, and gallery folders on the larger D storage drive. If I have to do a reinstall of Windows (like when I move to W7 Pro to accommodate the forthcoming memory upgrade) I will only need to reinstall the programmes and third party utilities.

    I have a ton of software and hate when I have to reinstall it all. Takes me 3 full days to install everything

    ...for myself maybe an afternoon and evening I really don't have a lot on the work system outside of my graphics programmes.

    I like to use the DIM, and the trouble is, it thinks everything is ready to install.  So I'm just going with it.  At least it isn't taking up any more space, it just puts everything where it already is.  indecision​ 

    I actually have several hard drives.  I put certain things here, certain things there.  That's why I'm surprised when I suddenly run out of space anywhere.  One of the other drives is pretty close to full as well.  It has only 8.91GBs of free space.  I will be looking at what I can move or archive from that drive.  It's the drive with the DAZ Library on it!  surprise

    ...when my work system had a Net connection I had no trouble telling the DIM where to install content and plugins. Everything went to its proper place, of course it is also important to map those locations in the Daz programme. It will have a Net connection again because of the notebook display going bad, until I can come up with a solution (most likely an external display that is compatible). So I will be able to directly install (with the DIM again) all the items that I downloaded the other night to the notebook.

    ...can't wait until I get real Net service restored. So tired of going back in to what I just wrote several times to correct typos. A real pain as the cursor rarely goes where I need it to be. Also hate the fact I can't do any formatting or paragraph breaks without going through the very tedious process of inserting codes. Also tired of getting those forum update and "draft saved at..." messages as they usually cover most of the editing window making the process even slower as I have to wait until they go away.

    LOTS OF TEXT WARNING

    The Eye Saga

    I've had a dead right eye since I fell off a mountain in California (a story for later).  And off and on, my left eye would get floaters that would show up and vanish a few days later.  It was no big deal, until...

    A few weeks ago I had the floaters.  I waited but they didn't go away, in fact they got worse.  I panicked and asked Anne to call 911 since I was close to blind, and we had a pile of ambulances show up!   They asked me all kinds of stupid questions, and it turned out that they thought I might have had a stroke (!!!).   So wheeeeeeeeeee ambulance ride to the E.R. and more questions, poking, prodding, checking my speech and co-ordination and memory, passed everything but the vision test.  So into a hospital room and they called an on-call opthamlogist, and while I waited it was a brain MRI followed not long after by a CAT scan (I am proud to have no cats inside my head).  So, one neurologist comes to the room and says my vision issue isn't brain-related, then proceeds to tell me I've had a stroke!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!? So, more tests, very annoying.. neurologist can't find any symptoms, second neurologist called in.  This one shows me a pic and points to a small white area and says "This bit of your brain is dead."  CREEPY!!!  Apparently it's called a 'silent stroke' since there are no symptoms.  And let me tell you, they tried their best to find issues!  Ever seen that little wheel thingy with spikes? That damn thing hurts!  So, after a couple of days of testing they decide that whatever part of the brain it hit wasn't in use (heh).  The eye doc came in and looked at the MRI and CAT scan and told me my floaters were blood and my eye was bleeding into itself (SICK EWWW MORE CREEPY!!!).The diagnosis: diabetes creates sugar crystals in your blood, which are apparently like tiny glass shards and can shred capillaries.  This happened in my retina, killing some blood flow.  The eye grew new blood vessels, but some grew out into the eyeball juice with no support, broke off, and bled into the juice - gross!

    Once out of the hospital the doc gave me an injection into my eye (HORROR MOVIE) to stop the bleeding, which it did - for a week.  If the injection had lasted longer the floaters would sink to the bottom of the eye and a laser could be used to cauterize the rogue veins, but I was not so lucky.  Back into surgery, eyeball operated on, and oil pumped in to help the retina heal. So, my unaided vision is fuzzy - but no floaters - and I can see colors that I lost years ago.Healing will take months but the doc says at the end of it I'll see fine.  Of course, this is going to make finding work tricky so I'm likely to file for my long-term disability insurance and just pick up small remote jobs I can code at home.  Freelancer.com is a brokering site and I know several companies that hire for specific bits of software like drivers and such, so I should be able to make rent and cold pizza money until this damn thing heals up.At least I can see well enough to take short walks outside when the weather doesn't suck!

    The neurologist wants a follow-up visit, so I suppose I should make arrangements...

     

     

    ...yikes! Hope he gave you an anaesthetic vefore that injection. Also been diagnosed with diabetes but the more easiky treatable veesion, just pills and managing the diet. Actually lost some weight after changing my diet and watching portions more closely. Also much more into organic meats, poultry, and fisg that isn't factory farm raised and injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. It isn't cheap (especially on my income) but I have been feeling way better and have few if any gut issues any more.

    I'm type 2 and on pills, it just went undiagnosed for a loooooong time.  I've made major lifestyle changes, but for some things it's just too late.. now it's all damage control. :-|

    Is a great deal for one person to cope with *hugs*

    TY.. I'll take all the hugs I can get! :)

    *hugs*
